If someone doesn't want to list their location at all, that's one thing. But I'm talking about someone that moves and doesn't change their location.

There is a certain poster that said he moved and didn't change his location because of laziness.



Pet peeve: People that drive big vehicles. There's no need for a big vehicle.

When I had a car, there was a big pick up truck that parked close to me.

And don't get me started on those Hummers that take up 2 spaces
I beg to differ.

With some of us, there is a need to drive a big vehicle. I have a farm. Try loading hay into the trunk of one of those overgrown Tonka toys that pass for cars lately.

As for Hummer's, those, IN MY HUMBLE OPINION, are more status symbol than practical vehicle. Give me a Ford truck, now that's something worth driving! Oh, and a ladder too, i'm kinda short.

Recognition is half the battle. I do the same but I just grab a shovel and go dig a new flower garden or something when I feel the urge to explode. I have several now.

I used to do that when I had a house I would go outside and very nearly kill myself doing yard work. Here at the apts we have a walking path that is 1/4 mile around and I head out there and walk several laps. Used to be I would take that shovel and look for heads to bashguess I am beginning to learn how to manage the slow burn.

Really? I'm only silence when I'm very angry. I blow it off by swearing (- I know I shouldn't swear), take long walks, play video games, or put on full blast music. Hehehe. I do internalize a lot so I tend to cool off a lot faster than if I don't.

Sorry. No more pet-peeve for today.

Ignorance verses common sense. Cashiers who either announce your phone number or leave a receipt with your personal info just sitting on a counter while they do something else first.

I couldn't find my ATM card the other day and was forced to write a dreaded check. There was a line a people behind me and in earshot while she asked me loudly for my phone number. I said it was unlisted and I don't give it out, she said, "then you can't write a check.' I leaned in across the counter and whispered to her "I'm not going to blurt out my phone number in front of all these people." She shrugged her shoulders and I wrote it down on a piece of paper. I told her to be on the safe side not to ask women for their phone number like that as a safety precaution. She said she'd never had a problem with it and I said, 'well I have.' Again she shrugs her shoulders.

Listen up ladies, this applies to both the consumer and the cashiers - never blurt out your phone number within earshot of others. I had two incidents happen and now I just make up a phone number. Once, it was a clerk at a grocery store who took my phone number off a check and proceeded to call me all hours of the night. The other was someone who overheard me say my phone number to a cashier. I was a single woman living alone and found it creepy as hell. Use some smarts and discretion when blurting out personal info in public. I tried to explain this to the girl cashier and again got the 'oh well' shoulder shrug. Also, even if you sign a slip for a credit card or Debit card transaction. Do not leave as long as the business copy is laying out on the counter, wait until they put it away properly.

If you've ever seen the original movie "Death Wish" it started exactly like this. The woman's name and address was stapled to a bag at a grocery store for delivery and three men ripped the address off the bag and followed her home, raping and killing her and her daughter...it doesn't just happen in the movies.

Men who r full of drama. I mean u expect it to a certain extent from chics, but it is down right disgusting in a man. And I am not talking about all man I am talking about one man in particular. He is controlling, deceptive, &manipulative. If he doesn't get his way the world comes to and end and he has no friends. He whines and complains if he is not worshipped. He has to be the center of attention no matter what. I think his motto is "bad" attention is better than no attention. He has to win at all cost and there is no compromise. It's his way or no way. How pathetic is that???? U can't do this guy enough favors, but he doesn't give any unless it is a benefit to him. It is really quite sad when it all said and done. Some folk need more love than others I suppose.
